Join the Earth Day to May Day Wave of Action! People, Planet, Peace over Profit!

The Convergence is an education and direct action campaign that begins this spring, with “10 days to change course,” running from Earth Day to May Day. It provides coordinated action to multiply, amplify and build synergy across grassroots justice movements. It lifts up local fronts of struggle while calling for a solution as big as the crisis barreling down on us – an emergency green economic transformation, including full employment and living wages; 100% clean renewable energy by 2030; universal free health care and education; food and housing security; an end to deportations and mass incarceration; economic and political democracy; demilitarization; ecosystem restoration and support for the rights of Mother Earth; and more.

As you know, the movement for democracy and justice is sweeping the globe – from democracy revolutions to Occupy protests, movements for the rights of workers, students, immigrants, women and Indigenous peoples; resistance to NSA spying, endless war, prison pipelines, tar sands, fracking, nuclear power, GMOs and more. The accelerating climate disaster – now predicted to dismantle civilization as we know it as soon as 2050 – intensifies all these struggles, and provides new urgency for collaboration and unified action. Clearly there is no time to lose.

This is why we personally are going all in on the Convergence. It holds the promise of unprecedented collaboration – across movements and national borders – to harness the transformative energy and power we already possess as a thousand movements rising up against the global assault on our shared economy, ecology, democracy and peace. Earth Day-to-May Day 2014 will be the first in a series of expanding annual actions.
